Only For Some – Clothing Security

Clothing security tags are the front line of defense to reducing shrink from theft. A visual deterrent that only needs to be applied once, they are efficient and cost effective for both big box retailers and the small business owner.

One of the questions I am asked regarding security tags on clothes is “What should I Tag?”

While the obvious decision would be to tag everything, that would end up being inefficient, expensive and unnecessary. Having too many clothing security tags is a distraction for you, your employees and mostly for your customers.

Too many tags can lead to improper deactivations and longer waits at the register to try and deactivate all of them. If a Checkpoint tag is not deactivated, by design it will sound a clothing alarm. If a tag is accidentally not deactivated, that same clothing alarm will go off. Too many alarms and both your employees and customers start to become immune to it.

There is also the added expense of too many tags. It is more cost efficient (both straight line expenses and return on investment) if you stick with just the top inventory shrink items.

You also need to factor in the time it will take to effectively tag your merchandise. Spending countless payroll hours on clothing security for items that are not a high risk is a waste of your resources.
